So it's seems that the RWNJ's have finally taken over the Discussionist board.

Most progressives and liberals are hidden at will for little or nothing, while the Cons spew practically whatever they want. Appeals and reviews go unanswered and by looking at the thread titles in Politics and News, there seems to be only a scant few that are not RW Freeper insanity.

I realize that many view Discussionist as a toilet, but it is a DU sponsored board and it's a shame to see it made into a mockery by the lowest of the low.

I sometimes wonder how long this embarrassment will continue?
